BY EMILY SORENSEN The Poway Unified School District Board of Education will be reviewing applications from six recruitment firms across the country interested in helping the

district find a new superintendent. The firms sent responses to the district’s request for qualifications, which was sent out in late July. Board President Michelle O’Connor-Ratcliff said the

responses are currently with the associate superintendents and once they are reviewed by them, the applications will be passed on to the board members who will also take a look before choosing which firms they would like to interview. O’Connor-Ratcliff said this decision will probably be made at the next regular board meeting,

which will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 23 at the district office. The interviews will be conducted during an open session meeting, O’Connor-Ratcliff said, with the board members going into closed session afterward to decide which firm they will hire. SEE PUSD, A10

BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK There is a new track for the more than 600 students at Turtleback Elementary School, who resumed classes on Tuesday. The quarter-mile loop will be especially beneficial to students in the school’s Trekkers running program and its fifth graders when they go through fitnessgram testing, said Principal Ann Auten after the dedication ceremony on Friday. “(During the test) they have to run one mile and this is exactly a 1/4-mile (loop),” Auten said. “Now our fifth graders have a great place to run and to do well on that test.” SEE TRACK, A10
